| characterized the market for contracts, and
there did not appear to be any special feature
to the trading during the greater part or the

buying orders had come in infuseda little steadi-
ness and placed the final rates two points above
last evening"

CHICAGO, May 17.-Wheat started in this
morning with a jump to SOC for June, and sold
| Immediately to S91605914c. This squirt lasted
for about 10 minutes, when it dropped back to
| $500 SS34c, but was active and irregular.
| Trading was very general at the start, and the
clique brokers did very little. AS the session
advanced trading became light, though con,

around with considerable alacrity. Their limits
were between S71ac, $3.50 and SIC for June, and
| it found impossible to move them either
| above or below these figures until a short time
before the close of the session, though both ex-
| tremes were touched several times. 1t was evil
dent that the buying operations of the clique
| were not large, and toward the close the crowd
| got little bold. They had been offering June
| wheat at various times all morning at SS1Sc
| without takers. At 1890 O'Clock few of them
tired of Offering at that price, and finally offered
it at 8S14c The market reacted toward SS19c
| again, and they became frightened and imme-
diately tried TO buy back the stuff they had sold.
| The market again stiffened up and closed at
Ss5sc for June and 857sc for July. July corn
opened stronger at 1850 but broke to 411sc.
when wheat declined, 1t afterward developed
| into quite an uninteresting deal, and ranged be-
July ribs opened firm at 81 42IS. This frmness
was due to the light receipt OF hogs. July lard

were quiet, and July receipts sold to 81 % and
July lard to Sc s2l9, closing at So 80 for the
former and So s213 for the latter
